The increasing global focus on sustainable development has prompted a reevaluation of urban planning strategies, with a particular emphasis on incorporating energy efficiency measures. This paper provides a comprehensive review of policies and best practices aimed at integrating energy-efficient principles into urban planning frameworks. Urbanization is on the rise, and cities play a pivotal role in both economic growth and environmental impact. Recognizing the urgency to mitigate climate change and reduce the ecological footprint of urban areas, policymakers worldwide are adopting measures to enhance energy efficiency in urban planning. This review examines a range of policies implemented across different regions, highlighting successful strategies and lessons learned. Key components of energy-efficient urban planning encompass building design, transportation systems, and infrastructure development. Stringent building codes and standards, coupled with incentives for energy-efficient construction, emerge as effective tools in promoting sustainable architecture. Moreover, the integration of green spaces, renewable energy sources, and smart technologies within urban infrastructure contributes significantly to energy conservation. The review also explores the role of public transportation and the promotion of alternative modes of commuting in reducing carbon emissions. Case studies from cities with successful public transportation initiatives illustrate the positive impact on both energy efficiency and overall urban livability. In addition to policy analysis, this paper delves into best practices employed by cities striving for energy efficiency. Collaboration between local governments, private sectors, and communities emerges as a common thread in successful urban planning initiatives. Furthermore, engaging citizens through awareness campaigns and participatory planning processes fosters a sense of collective responsibility, driving the adoption of sustainable practices. In conclusion, this paper provides a comprehensive overview of the evolving landscape of energy-efficient urban planning. By examining policies and best practices, it serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, urban planners, and researchers working towards creating more sustainable and resilient cities in the face of growing urbanization and climate change. Keywords: Energy, Urban Planning, Energy Policies, Best Practices, Review.

The key issue addressed in this article is authenticity, which is a criterion that is no longer limited to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization’s world heritage domain. This article draws from one of the most interesting public projects in the United States – the John F. Kennedy (JFK) Terminal 5/6 Redevelopment Plan, which was part of the larger JFK master plan. The project’s Trans World Airlines (TWA) terminal, which is the only landmarked terminal and remnant of the original JFK airport plan, raised concerns. In 2001, the debate started off with keeping the terminal building active for aviation use and experiences. Nonetheless, the terminal was reimagined into a luxury hotel in 2019. This article unveils the micro-politics in the redevelopment plan and examines the authenticity of the TWA terminal and how it was (re)constructed. In doing so, the article sheds light on urban law and the decision-making process. Moreover, it discusses the tangible and intangible consequences of the prevailing speculative logic in the law.
